Ever gonna see some new maps?
« on: September 14, 2014, 01:57:46 AM »
It's been months since a new map has been added to the rotation while the community has made it clear that we want to see some new maps.
Recommendations: cactuscanyon, payload version of dustbowl, various other maps that I have posted on the forums in the past that were supported. There are plenty of great payload maps out there that aren't on the server that are at least worth trying, maybe add a map rating system?

I think they did add the new Valve beta maps but I think they weren't in the rotation. Wolfpup is the one that can put the map manually. Ive tried the new maps and they are meh. Yea i much prefer to add the maps Uncle listed here.

Yeah I'm a little sick of the same ol same ol as well.

I was half tempted to switch the PL server to a non PL map last night, but didn't. (Though there was a lot of support from the server to do so.) I was also going to switch to cactuscanyon, but it seems to have disappeared from the map list.

Maybe this post will get an official response on the subject.

 I would love to see some action here. I know that I played on a server that had a plugin that allowed you to vote on how much you liked the map at the end of that maps duration just like the OP suggested. Maybe you can do something similar and replace the four least liked maps with new maps. And never stop this, keep the maps fresh and liked instead of old, hated and boring.

Pup usually changes barnblitz to the pro version which fixes the first and last points and makes the map much more enjoyable. Please just make this a permanent change so we can enjoy it when he's not connected.

And for future maps, please avoid ones where there aren't much of any flanks. 32 players spamming blindly at one corner isn't fun.

I agree, and we should be seeing these new maps on the server some day hopefully.

Yes, new custom maps are going to be added.

I don't know custom PL maps very well, so we're trying to figure out which ones are going to be the most interesting/fun. Also, we might remove some of the current custom maps from the rotation, the unpopular ones. Feel free to give your opinion on which ones you would like which ones you want removed.

As for Barnblitz Pro version... we might have to include both the official and the pro version on the rotation due to the way our custom map chooser plugin is designed.

Sweet!
I'd suggest removing pl_manngrove and pl_deadwood, both of these maps have incredibly unbalanced win ratios, manngrove has blu winning 30% percent of the time and deadwood has blu winning only 14% of the time. These are real server killers in my opinion.

Looking forward to new maps.

As for removal, I would vote for Manngrove as well.

New custom maps have been added. They're on the Payload server, but not available in the mapchooser yet. We're still working on that. Hoping to have them ready tomorrow or Thursday. In the meantime, you can see the new Rotation here: http://hyperiongaming.org/index.php?topic=539.0

As you can see, 7 new maps have been added, and 3 were removed (pl_deadwood, pl_metropolis_b5 and pl_manngrove_rc5). Barnblitz_pro has been added as well, but we might have to keep the official version in the rotation (easiest solution, but we might be able to replace the official version with the pro completely).

Just a quick reminder: the maps are installed on the server, but they're not on the mapchooser yet, so players can't vote for them -- for now. ETA is either tonight or Thursday.
